Your iPhone makes a bold statement about you. No matter if you have the brand new iPhone 6 or an earlier version, it says that you are a person of style, who wants the best of the best at all… Read more ›

I’m not a big fan of screen protectors; partly because they’re real pain in the ass to apply, and partly because I’ve never felt like they really added much to the equation.
